McKenna Landscapes | Trusted Landscaping in Aptos, CA

In Aptos, we address tree root damage by first assessing the tree's health and the extent of the root intrusion. Our solution often involves carefully pruning problematic surface roots, then regrading and re-sodding the affected lawn area with appropriate soil amendments. We may also install a root barrier to prevent future damage while preserving the tree. This approach restores a level, healthy lawn without compromising the mature trees that add value to your property.

Lawn grading is the process of shaping your yard's soil to create a gentle slope away from your home's foundation. This is crucial in Aptos to prevent water from pooling near your house, which can lead to foundation damage, basement flooding, and soil erosion. We use laser levels to ensure precise grading, then add topsoil and re-seed or re-sod to establish proper drainage and a lush, even lawn that protects your home's structure.

Absolutely. These issues are often connected in Aptos landscapes. A common project for us involves removing or managing invasive tree roots, then regrading the entire area to correct the drainage pattern the roots disrupted. We create a comprehensive plan that solves the immediate damage, improves overall yard drainage, and selects appropriate plants or turf that will thrive without future conflict. This integrated approach saves you time and money in the long run.
